The world is cranking through AoC and zooming toward a ChatGPT future, and I'm still here thinking about the right way to visualize past versions in a live-programming environment. And my note-taking app (https://spectra.video/w/051fef50-a121-40c0-bf3c-ee0730fb4a07). One thing I did recently: a

move

command that moves columns (analogous to browser tabs) to the left, while continually truncating columns on the right beyond some limit. The combination of these two has changed how I work, from messes all over the surface to much more localized access patterns where I live near the top left and move things over to it as I need them. (It's not a catastrophe if I lose a tab because on-disk search is working well.)
